The smallest satsuma segment ever!

Yesterday I came across the smallest satsuma segment ever! It was amazing! And it tasted really good too although I felt a bit bad eating it.

Getting my freak on with Giles Deacon

Whilst at a discussion recently between Colin McDowell, and my favourite bespectacled charmer - Giles Deacon, I decided to pop the question. By popping the question I do not mean proposing to Giles (and yes we are on first name terms), but asking him a question I hoped he had never heard before. I am so sick, to the point of possible internal damage of generic people asking generic questions to these intelligent people like; "What inspires you?", "Who is your muse?" and other such question crimes, that I decided to be a little more bold.
As I held the microphone in my profusely sweating hands, I stood up and announced my name. It is a shame that I am so short as when I stood up, I could hardly be seen!
I began my question by saying,
"This is a slightly morbid question...", to a slight nervous laughter from him and Colin, to which I myself then nervously laughed.
"When you...um...pass away, would you like someone else to design under your name, or for the label to cease?"
Unfortunately, whilst trying to listen the answer, I was a bit too busy basking in the glory from Colin McDowell commenting on how extremely excellent my question was. I think the general gist was that he would like the label to cease - but more importantly, I can't be sure, but I swear in the brief moment that our eyes met above the tops of the heads in front - he fell in love with me.

Another chipstick related incident!

Just thought I would share with you another chipstick related incident. Those of you who read this regularly will know about the previous incident. It's not much of an incident, I just cut the roof of my mouth whilst eating a chipstick. It's quite painful actually. I need to stop having savoury snack induced accidents.

Food

I think I should rename by blog, because the main focus of what I write about is either directly, or indirectly related to food. I love food. My diet of late has been awful; because of having 3 deadlines all in a short period of time, I haven't really had the time to cook.
The other day I ate: - An almond croissant
- 3 slices of cold pizza
- A McDonald's cheeseburger, and then a McChicken burger
- A packet of cheese puffs

I did enjoy that day, but in photos that evening, it was evident in my tight t-shirt that I shouldn't have eaten that much, and maybe a few more fruit and vegetables and a lot less cheese wouldn't have gone amiss.

Thinking about food can distract me greatly. Whilst recently Stumbling, I came across a blog which had hundreds of pages of fantastically photographed food http://www.tastespotting.com/. I was on it for ages. If you think you love food as much as me, you will enjoy it.

Also..

I just wanted to apologise for the lack of the grave accent on gruyere on the previous post, unfortunately my keyboard isn't as sophisticated as i'd like it be. I can do this `u, but can't do them at the same time. Maybe i'll write Apple a letter detailing my outrage.

Where's the gruyere?

I was in Tescos the other day, frequenting the chilled, savoury snack section when I came across these two items.After thinking long and hard about about which one to buy, I decided to read the detailed product description. After reading the detailed product description, I realised something. The product information was exactly the same on both quiches, just slightly re-worded.

Now, clearly as most people know, the difference between a cheese and bacon quiche and quiche lorraine is gruyere cheese. I've decided I might write a letter to Tescos, outlining my disgust at their lack of quiche awareness. Or maybe start a petition, so that Tescos know how many people share my concern for quiche truth. If you share my concern please do not hesitate to contact me and we can have a nice discussion about the finer aspects of correct quiche making.

Cloud 9

It has come to my attention recently that pillows are becoming obsolete.

Joel has the worst pillows known to man. Using two sheets of paper would probably be of more use whilst trying to sleep than Joel's pillows. I have secretly been pinching Joel's flatmate's pillows when he's not there, so I can achieve a suitable night's sleep. However, this becomes a problem when Joel's flatmate is in. So as an alternative, I decided to try something a bit radical. Instead of using the traditional pillow, I used a spare single duvet. Joel said (and I quote),
"That is the worst idea I have ever heard", (this is before he tried it).
It, in fact, was the best idea I had ever heard. The fact that it moulds around you with minimal effort and you can get really entwined in it just puts it in a whole other realm. I was very pleasantly surprised, and after Joel tried it he quickly retracted his previous statement, and proceeded to nickname it 'Cloud 9'.

For anyone who feels pillows are soon to become extinct/or who have trouble sleeping , I recommend trying Cloud 9.
